When I was ten
I had a teacher
who kept a typewriter in our class
on the high shelf
I would look at it way up high
on a safe perch
and dream of using it
one day she took it down
just to show me
and I fell in love
it was then that I knew
words were my destiny
I knew
on a machine such as this
I could lay down
the words that constantly
spun in my heart
I shared this revelation
and she said that I could do anything
I'm just beginning
to believe
and realize
the reawakening
of the dream
of the typewriter
on the high shelf
I shared this revelation
and she said that I could do anything
I'm just beginning
to believe
and realize
the reawakening
of the dream
of the typewriter
on the high shelf
They ARE your destiny, and yes, you can!
Believe on.....

We just never know which thoughtful exchange we extend to a child might be the golden key.
This would make a powerful children's story.
It is a little treasure for anyone who aspires to Teach. Vicky
